I would say that not liking onions is a bit of an illusion though. They really are in everything and are so elemental to cooking. I think if people understood this better they wouldn’t fear onions so much. Sometimes fear of onions is also part of a generalized “zero seasoning” palette common among some older white Americans, where even black pepper is considered “spicy” and most food is totally flavorless and usually cooked to a pulp. It’s not about growing up… this palette is just missing out on so much happiness in the world. Being just a tiny bit brave with food is a wonderful decision to make in life. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kolmaskommentoija@sopuli.xyz 1 point 1 day ago (1 child) It is mostly a texture thing for me, and I doubt I am the only one. I do not mind the taste that much, if it is onion powder. But even tiny chunks of cooked onions make me gag when they crunch on your teeth. Absolutely disgusting. If I have to eat something with onions, I will pick out the pieces, no matter how tiny they are.

I love that personally but I can see it’s a matter of taste. Does that mean you enjoy fresh cut onion in a salad (like bits of red onion in a Mediterranean salad) or fresh cut onion on a burger? Much more crisp texture. Just curious! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kolmaskommentoija@sopuli.xyz 1 point 1 day ago No, I do not like the raw crispines either! It has almost the same crunch, just with a lot less sliminess. Though with raw, the taste is also too strong for me. permalink fedilink source parent
